A new version of Dr. Memory is available. This version appears to fix the problem of Dr Memory failing on Windows 10. You can download version 1.9.1 Release Candidate 1 at https://github.com/DynamoRIO/drmemory/wiki/Downloads.

Homework code must be able to be compiled and run on the homework server. Some versions of clang++ on Mac OSX allow certain g++11 extensions which are not enabled on the Linux g++98 version used on the server. One example is using a string in an fstream constructor. This will generate an error on the server, but may not on OSX with clang. See http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~thompw4/CSCI-1200/Spring2016/notes_020916.txt for an example.

Alac Drop-in Tutor schedule has been announced. See Alac Drop In Tutoring.

In hope of supporting the students performances on the exams, UPE has scheduled 3 review sessions.

Exam #2 Review Session on 4/1/16 at 4pm in Lally 104

Exam #3 Review Session on 4/29/16 at 4pm in Lally 104

All of the sessions will run for roughly 2 hours and we will be attempting to answer questions from students as well as providing general content review.

If you added the course the first week of classes and are unable to access the homework submission site, please email the instructors with your RCS username (your @rpi.edu email address) and your section number and we will add your account for homework submission.

Because many students were dealing with lengthy compiler/editor installation, registration confusion, travel disruption etc., we will allow (for the first lab only!) students to get checked off for any remaining Lab 1 checkpoints at the beginning of next week’s Lab 2 or in your grad TA’s normal office hours.

If you cannot access the LMS site, please email the instructors with your RCS ID and section number.

The latest Windows 10 update (Version 1511) can cause Dr. Memory to fail on Cygwin. If you experience problems running Dr. Memory with Cygwin and Windows 10, a viable alternative is to run Linux under VirtualBox. See , http://www.cs.rpi.edu/academics/courses/spring16/csci1200/OS_choices.php.

We post the first two checkpoints for each lab on Tuesday afternoon/evening. The third checkpoint is available on the day of lab. If you're worried about the time constraints in lab, we encourage you to start each lab early.

Lab checkpoints must be finished before the end of your assigned lab section (ending 10 minutes before the hour). Because many students were dealing with course registration/scheduling and/or with lengthy compiler/editor installation, etc., we will allow (for the first lab only!) students to get checked off for any remaining Lab 1 checkpoints in their graduate lab TA's office hours or at the beginning of next week's Lab 2.

If you added the course the first week of classes and are unable to access the homework submission site, please email the instructors with your RCS username (your @rpi.edu email address) and we will activate your account for homework submission.

If you cannot access the LMS page for this course, send email to the instructors to be added to the LMS course page.

Welcome to CSCI 1200 Data Structures!

We will have an optional "Install Fest" on Monday January 25th from 6-8pm in DCC 308. Bring your laptop and we'll help you walk through the instructions to download and install the software you'll need for the semester. We'll have plenty of graduate TAs and undergraduate mentors on hand to help troubleshoot if you get stuck. This will be an informal session and a chance for you to meet some of the teaching staff for the course.

If you can't join us, don't worry. Our first lab on Wednesday January 27 will help get you set up and ready for the term.

Our first official meeting will be lecture on Tuesday January 26.
